Have you tried NOT sleeping?

My internets, why do you keep doing this to me.

Recently I haven't been able to load imgur, or any pictures from imgur.

No I don't get error messages, they just don't load at all.

Then there are some other sites I can't load, but I can't see any pattern with those either.

My internets, why.

Sumeragi · 2012-10-19, 07:17

Too many people have been using imgur, so it's been having problems every now and then.

NoemiChan · 2012-10-19, 07:45

Yeah, imgur has been showing problems lately...

My concern now is the YT videos in AS which always lags my netbook...

HasuMasu · 2012-10-19, 08:12

I see, it's not just a problem with me?

I thought it was since I asked my friend to check if he could load imgur and he told me there were no problems.

Even now I still can't load it.

I also had this problem but fixed by manually configure IP address.

I had this problem too (in fact I posted in this thread about it).

What does that mean and how do you do that?

I saw that post, I don't think we gave the same problem.

See, anything related to imgur just doesn't load as if it was never there.

That is exactly what I had happening then and slightly less now

^ Oh, from your post I just thought you had account problems.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH guess imgur is flipping out on a number of people.

Common behavior from overloaded servers. That's coupled with the Internet name servers either being "poisoned" (incorrect address resolution) or the name servers are just being hammered by requests for imgur and are defending themselves (its similar to a DDOS attack).

The way to band-aid it temporarily is to find out what the numeric IP addresses are and add them to your computer's "host" file (buried deep in the operating system folders).

People can google for how to find and modify host files on their computer and they can google how to determine the numeric IP addresses of websites.

I pull up a DOS command screen and type "ping imgur.com". The response is 54.243.206.51. It is currently timing out (pings are dying a lonely death).

That tells me that modifying my hosts file isn't going to do squat because the imgur server is not connected to the Internet (on fire, power off, network near it is hosed/cut, etc). Time to go play Torchlight

The imgur problem makes enough sense, but here's a random list of sites that I'm experiencing the same problem with.

- Plurk
- wikis in general
- manga sites
- etc.

Now I don't know if the same principle applies as I've not encountered problems with some before (Plurk) unlike imgur.

just google "manually configure IP address", guide on how to do it is all over the internet. it always fix this problem for me.

HasuMasu · 2012-10-20, 04:47

Holy mother of asspull, it seems my problem is fixed for the meantime.

I just got the usual pop-up from Java, which in hindsight I get all the time but strangely I haven't gotten in a while.

So after I got that pop-up it seems I'm sort of okay now.

I'm not sure what the hell just happened though...

EDIT: Well that didn't last long...

NoemiChan · 2012-10-21, 00:21

I notice something....

Why is it that parents are mostly set aside in most anime particularly yuri and yaoi theme animes? Are they intentionally ignored even in slice of life? Aren't they valuable for later character development.....?

Note: I've watched a few of them.. and I ask based on what I observed...

I am not a yaoi watcher, so I can't comment there, but a lot of yuri series tend to be set at schools w/dorms thus parents aren't focused on by default.

But I presume most series that choose not to involve them do so because otherwise it pretty much forces them into intolerant parent drama for one or more of the characters if it is trying to be realistic and not every series wants to deal with that.

Though plenty of animes in general choose to set aside parents to being next to non-existent status (Bakemonogatari, K-On!, Amagami SS, Hyouka for example all barely have parent presences)

So internal conflicts might occur that may put the plot/theme at risk... I see, since parents are mostly realistic so romances in yuri and yaoi might not work if they're involved? Naru houdo....

Out of curiosity, what are the chances that there is a movie theater (anywhere in the world...) that shows silent movies?

I doubt there is one that would actively show them...but has there been any that show them occasionally, or even just annually?

Don't really know too much about theaters really, nor what to try and look up. Haven't even been to an actual movie theater for almost a year now...

Not expecting too much, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

My younger son's former high school runs an annual event with silent films - they even have a guy trained in providing the organ music live to accompany it.

Sometimes, people will refurbish old "main street" theaters from the 20th century and have "silent" night in between the "second run $5 movie" nights.

They are hard to find though ... much easier to find DVD collections (like Laurel&Hardy or Buster Keaton).

That's pretty cool, even live organ music?! Wow!

Hmm I guess it'll be time to search for the location of these old "main street" theaters.

I do happen to own a few silent film DVD's...
I figured such theaters would be hard to find if they existed, though I've always wanted to experience seeing a silent film on a big screen. (this is nothing more than a selfish want anyway

)

Thanks for the speedy reply Vexx! Much appreciated.
